Sweating in the Amazon

Sweat trickles down my butt cheeks, pooling in already damp
cotton undies. Tank top plastered to my chest, droplets of sweat wetting the
fabric to transparent. No, I’m not in the jungle yet, I’m here in Hamilton
Ontario, my hometown. It’s the last week of August and a late summer heat wave
has triggered memories of my 2007 trip to Ecuador. But that was January! Wonder
what its like there now, in the summer? So, turn off the A/C, sit back and kick
off the sandals – and come into the jungle….
